NEW YORK - Moderna said late Thursday that it asked the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorisation of a second booster of its coronavirus vaccine for all adults, a significantly broad

er request than Pfizer and BioNTech filed for their shot this week.

Although there are indications that regulators could move swiftly on Pfizer's request, it is unclear how favourably they will view Moderna's more sweeping application. Outside scientists are sharply divided over whether another dose is necessary now, and if so, for whom. "It's also clear that protection is waning now pretty quickly a few months after your third dose," he said."So it's short-lived. The hope is that a second booster would restore it."
